Abstract
Fumonisin B1 (FB1), one of the most widely distributed mycotoxins found in grains and feeds as contaminants, affects many organs including the kidney once ingested. However, the nephrotoxicity of FB1 remains to be further uncovered. The connection between necroptosis and nephrotoxicity of FB1 has been investigated in this study. The results showed that mice exposed to high doses of FB1 (2.25 mg/kg b.w.) developed kidney damage, with significant increases in proinflammatory cytokines (Il-6, Il-1β), kidney injury-related markers (Ngal, Ntn-1), and gene expressions linked to necroptosis (Ripk1, Ripk3, Mlkl). The concentration-dependent damage effects of FB1 on PK-15 cells contain cytotoxicity, cellular inflammatory response, and necroptosis. These FB1-induced effects can be neutralized by pretreatment with the necroptosis inhibitor Nec-1. Additionally, FB1 caused mitochondrial damage and mitophagy in vivo and in vitro, whereas Mdivi-1, a mitophagy inhibitor, prevented these effects on PK-15 cells as well as, more crucially, necroptosis. In conclusion, the RIPK1/RIPK3/MLKL signal route of necroptosis, which may be controlled by mitophagy, mediated nephrotoxicity of FB1. Our findings clarify the underlying molecular pathways of FB1-induced nephrotoxicity.

Abstract
Retinal neurodegenerative diseases are a category of refractory blinding eye conditions closely associated with oxidative stress induced by mitochondrial dysfunction in retinal cells. SARM1, a core driver molecule leading to axonal degeneration, possesses NAD+ enzyme (NADase) activity. However, the role of the SARM1-NAD+ axis in oxidative stress-induced retinal cell death remains unclear. Here, we employed the SARM1 NADase inhibitor DSRM-3716 and established a glucose oxidase (GOx)-induced oxidative stress cell model. We found that compared to the GOx group, the DSRM-3716 pre-treated group reduced the hydrolysis of NAD+, inhibited the elevation of oxidative stress markers induced by GOx, decreased mitochondrial dysfunction, lowered the phosphorylation level of JNK, and attenuated the occurrence of pyroptosis in retinal and nerve cells, thereby providing protection for neurite growth. Further utilization of the JNK activator Anisomycin activated JNK, revealed that the JNK/c-Jun pathway down-regulated NMNAT2 expression. Consequently, it reduced cellular NAD+ synthesis, exacerbated mitochondrial dysfunction and cell pyroptosis, and reversed the protective effect of DSRM-3716 on cells. In summary, the inhibition of SARM1 NADase activity substantially mitigates oxidative damage to retinal cells and mitochondrial damage. Additionally, JNK simultaneously serves as both an upstream and downstream regulator in the SARM1-NAD+ axis, regulating retinal cell pyroptosis and neurite injury. Thus, this study provides new insights into the pathological processes of retinal cell oxidative stress and identifies potential therapeutic targets for retinal neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract
Autophagic dysfunction in neurodegenerative diseases is being extensively studied, yet the exact mechanism of macroautophagy/autophagy in axon degeneration is still elusive. A recent study by Kim et al. links autophagic stress to the sterile α and toll/interleukin 1 receptor motif containing protein 1 (SARM1)-dependent core axonal degeneration program, providing a new insight into the role of autophagy in axon degeneration. In the classical Wallerian axon degeneration model of axotomy, disruption of axonal transport destroys the coordinated activity of pro-survival and pro-degenerative factors in the axoplasm and activates the NADase activity of SARM1, thus triggering the axonal self-destruction program. However, the mechanism for SARM1 activation in the chronic neurodegenerative disorders is more complex. Mitochondrial defects and oxidative stress contribute to the activation of SARM1, while mitophagy can inhibit mitochondrial dysfunction and promote the clearance of SARM1 on mitochondria, thus protecting against neuronal degeneration. Therefore, in-depth elucidation of the underlying mechanisms of mitophagy during axonal degeneration can help develop promising strategies for the prevention and treatment of various neurodegenerative disorders.

Abstract
The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), an evolutionarily highly conserved serine/threonine protein kinase, plays a prominent role in controlling gene expression, metabolism, and cell death. Programmed cell death (PCD) is indispensable for maintaining homeostasis by removing senescent, defective, or malignant cells. Necroptosis, a type of PCD, relies on the interplay between receptor-interacting serine-threonine kinases (RIPKs) and the membrane perforation by mixed lineage kinase domain-like protein (MLKL), which is distinguished from apoptosis. With the development of necroptosis-regulating mechanisms, the importance of mTOR in the complex network of intersecting signaling pathways that govern the process has become more evident. mTOR is directly responsible for the regulation of RIPKs. Autophagy is an indirect mechanism by which mTOR regulates the removal and interaction of RIPKs. Another necroptosis trigger is reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced by oxidative stress; mTOR regulates necroptosis by exploiting ROS. Considering the intricacy of the signal network, it is reasonable to assume that mTOR exerts a bifacial effect on necroptosis. However, additional research is necessary to elucidate the underlying mechanisms. In this review, we summarized the mechanisms underlying mTOR activation and necroptosis and highlighted the signaling pathway through which mTOR regulates necroptosis. The development of therapeutic targets for various diseases has been greatly advanced by the expanding knowledge of how mTOR regulates necroptosis.
